The text of DBP 86A is closely paralleled by an undated
manuscript DBP 86, also used by Samad Ahmad in his redaction.

The
text commonly known as Sejarah Melayu is represented
in a number of versions. A succinct account of them has been
given by Roolvink, further dicussed by Braginsky. There are significant differences
between this version and the other well-known editions published
by Abdullah bin Abdul Kadir, Shellabear and
Winstedt. One instance of divergence is that in this
text Hang Tuah confronts Hang Jebat (thus agreeing with the story
told in Hikayat Hang Tuah ), while in both
Shellabear’s and Winstedt’s versions Hang Tuah's opponent is Hang
Kasturi. Other divergences are discussed by Samad Ahmad in
the "Epilog" to his edition (pp.295-301).
